Aim & Scope

Aim

Biomedical and Clinical Medicine provides a peer-reviewed venue for biomedical and clinical medicine. The journal is intended for clinical researchers, biomedical scientists, methodologists, and health-service research teams. Its editorial goal is to publish articles that make the research question, method, evidence, and limitations visible enough for readers to evaluate and reuse.

Core Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

  • Original studies in clinical research with transparent assumptions and evaluable evidence.
  • Research on biomedical mechanisms that explains methods, data, and interpretation limits.
  • Applied work involving diagnostics where practical relevance is supported by analysis rather than assertion.
  • Interdisciplinary work connecting translational medicine to adjacent scientific, engineering, health, environmental, social, or policy questions.

Article Types Considered

The journal may consider clinical research articles, observational studies, translational reports, case series, methods papers, and systematic reviews. Article type should be selected according to the main contribution, not according to desired length or perceived prestige.

Method and Evidence Expectations

For this field, manuscripts should pay particular attention to:

  • study design
  • participant eligibility
  • ethics approval
  • statistical analysis
  • clinical relevance and limitations

Out of Scope

The journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely promotional, lack a research question, duplicate previously published work, make unsupported clinical or policy claims, present unverifiable results, or fall outside biomedical and clinical medicine. Manuscripts that are technically sound but do not fit the journal's subject identity may be returned before peer review.

Editorial Standard

The journal does not require spectacular novelty. It requires a clear contribution, appropriate citations, transparent methods, relevant ethical approvals where needed, and a limitations section. Reviewers and editors should ask whether the work is trustworthy and useful for its intended readership.
